I am tired. I have been saying how tired I am and how I can’t wait for the baby to be here.
To which my supposed friends keep laughing at because ‘just wait until the baby is here.’
I am not stupid. I know I will be even more tired when the baby is here.
HOWEVER, I will…
- Not be going to work for about a year
- Not be having to get up at any particular time, except when the baby gets me up
- Be able to rest during the day, provided the baby naps
- Be able to ignore parts of the house, like having to hang my work clothes to dry. I won’t have any dirty work clothes!
- Even if the baby doesn’t nap, at least be able to sit on the sofa with it and veg in front of the TV, at least until its old enough to need a bit more interaction!!
This is not my first experience with a newborn, okay? It maybe my first baby, but I’ve been around other small babies. And yes, I know it is different when it is your own.
So will everyone please stop treating me like an idiot?
Kthxbai.
Its almost a rite of passage that people treat pregnant women either like idiots or invalids. And if its women with kids doing it, they have forgotten when people treated them like idiots or invalids.
